About a week ago, I hit the wall with all my shawl knitting. I simply needed something else to knit, or at least I needed the sensation that I hadn’t completely lost the ability to finish a piece of knitting. Shawls are wonderful, and I love knitting them, but boy oh boy, they do take rather a long time to knit.

Luckily I found the perfect excuse for a bit of procrastinating. There are several pregnant ladies in my circle of aquaintance, so I dug out Lene Holme Samsøe’s booklet Babystrik på pinde 3½-4 and cast on “Hjerter” with an appropriate yarn from the Stash.

It isn’t a big project by any measure, especially when knitting a size 3 month. I’ve used all of 58 g and one button for the project. Wonderful little thing. I’d go as far as calling it the knitting equivalent of a snack – and just like with snacks, one doesn’t do much to satisfy a hunger…
